Senator Voorhees, VIII Endeavor to Induce
the Senate to Reject His Nomination.
Special o the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGT ON, Aug. 19.-The Indiana friends
of Senator Voorhees, say that gentleman is pre-
pairing to make war upon United States Treas
urer Hyatt when the latter's nomination shall
be referred to the Senate finance committee for
confirmation. next winter Senator Voorhees's
grievance against Mr.. Hyatt lies in the refusal
of the Treasurer TO dismiss Jerome Burnett.
S. 500 clerk in Mr. Hyatts Office. Mr.. Burnett.
it appears, is an Indiana politician. He was
secretary of the Republican State central COM
mittee, some years ago. and has since been act
lively identified with Indiana politics. Senator
Voorhees, thought Mr.. Burnett ought to give
way to a Democrat; Mr.. Hyatt thought differ
emily. and positively refused to make the
change. Senator Voorhees, it is now said will
have his revenge when Mr. Hyatt's name comes
before the finance coPmittee, of which Mr..
Voorhees, is a member.
1t is also reported that two other Democrats
on the committee Messrs Beck and Vance. will
assist Senator Voorhees, in his opposition to Dir.
Hyatt. and determined effort will be made to
secure his rejection if the required number OF
votes can be obtained.

A CHANGE OF HEART.
How Government Patronage Is Being Used In
Mr.. CleveIand,s Interests.

Mr.. Cleveland's Interests.
Washington Special to ehicago Inter Ocean.
Charles Sumner, in one of his speeches, de-
clared that the only sure way to reform the civil
service would be to limit the President to
single term. Not much thought given to
this opinion at the time. but those who have
looked into the matter and examined it in the
light of experience must have been impressed
with its correctness. President Cleveland,
when he wrote his letter of acceptance, took
grounds in favor of a single term. For more
than year after he became President, Mr..
Cleveland evidently did not expect and did not
for reelection. During that period he
resisted the pressure Of the hungry and thirsty
and became unpopular with his party leaders.
A little more than year ago rumors began to be
circulated that the President was coming to the
conclusion that he might like second term.
The party managers adroitly nourished this
sentiment in the President, and thus cultivated
his friendship and paved the way to the Offices
for which their followers were yet clamoring.
The tone of the organs changed. In the course
of few months full-sized Presidential bee
was buzzing In the Presidents hat. Old foes
whom he would not seek to reconcile for the
good of the party were welcomed at the White
House after the President had set his heart upon
denomination. The change In the President has
been even more radical than that IN the leaders
and the organs. The country hears no more
such sounding phrases as Public Office is a
public trust" The Curtis letter has been for
gotten. All Republican office-holders are otfen-
s;ve partisans Instead of such sentiments the
President is putting in practice the Democratic
doctrine that 'ro the vctors belong the spoils."
Congressman who can do the most to secure dele
cations are permitted to name their henchmen
for public Office. Efficiency and character are
no longer the test, but Tammany saloonists and
Baltimore ballot box suffers and the Ragged
Reubens" Of the party pushed into places OF
trust in spite of protests. So long as Mr.. Cleve-
land had no desire for second term he would
not do this for the party that elected him. but
now that he has been seiZad with the desire to
be his own successor he realizes, with his party,
the value of ''horde of Office holders with a
zeal born of benefits and fostered by the hope
OF favors yet to come, who stand ready to aid
with money and tainted political service and
does not hesitate to use it extent to which
it was never before employed.

An Unseen Eclipse.

BERLIN, Aug. 19.-Thers was an eclipse of
the sun to-day. The sky was entirely overcast
and the sun was invisible The eclipse
preceded by the appearance OF deeply colored
clouds The color increased as the sun rose but
gradually faded, whereupon general darkness
suddenly set in. Clouds of increased deep color
ing returned after few minutes, and then day
light ensued. Thousands of people came to
Berlin by railway and in carriages to observe
the phenomenon.
The Russian observers Of the eclipse obtained
numerous drawings and photographs OF the
solar corona spectrum. At the Belgian station,

The Formal Announcements

LONDON, Aug 19--In the House of Lords
this afternoon, Lord Salisbury announced that
the government had proclaimed the Irish Nation
al league.
Mr. Balfour Chief Secretary for Ireland, an
nounced in the House of Commons this after
noon, that the government had proclaimed the
Irish National League He said the League was
proclaimed as a dangerous association under
Section 6 Of the Irish crimes act amend
ment bill, recently made law. [Cheers and
counter cheers. The government had thus taken
the power conferred upon them by that statute
to prohibit and suppress the league. Continu-
ing, Mr.. Bafour said: There are two sub
heads of the sixth section of the act mentioned
in the proclama alton, which declares follows:
Whereas, we are satisfied that there exists in
Ireland an association known the Irish Ma
tional League, which, in parts of Ireland, pro-
notes and incites acts OF violence and lntlmlda-
ton"
A Voice-It's lie; no branch of the League is
engaged in such work.
Mr. Sexton asked whether the sole ground for
the proclamation was that the league SIM
ply an association tending to interfere with the
law
Mr. Balfour, in reply, read the terms of the
proclamation.
Mr. Harrington asked whether Mr.. Balfour
aware that nearly all the branches of the
league engaged in registration work;
whether he knew that the league the only
association opposed to the Conservatives in that
tended to paralyze the efforts of the league to
the advantage OF the Conservatives the new
register.
Mr. Balfour replied that no branch of the
league confined to registration would be i'm
peded in its work
Replying further to Mr.. Sexton, Mr. Balfour
said that until the Vceroy issued an order re-
garding particular district the proclamation
will have force.
The subject was then dropped and the House
went into committee on the land allotment bill
The proclaiming of the league was the sub
ject of excited discussion in the Iohbes of Par
lament this evening. The Gladstonians assert
that the government is unjust and imprudent n
procaming the league. The Parnelltes say
that the government wish to create
trouble and outrage in Ireland dur
ing the coming winter that the
proclaim alton will force the extremist measures
of the league to the front, and that the govern
ment will shortly bitterly repent their action

have been removed from the headquarters IN

are perfect albinoes in every respect even
to the pink eyes. These we have raised,
and they are really beautiful little Great

were exhibited. They had been found in
various places in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk,
Suffolk and Wiltshire. In the discussion
that followed it was the general opinion
that the fly was of recent introduction in
England. According to one speaker, the
commonly received idea that the insect
was introduced into America by the Hes
sian troops in 1777 is incorrect, as its ex-
istence at that date was unknown in Hesse.

Wonders of the Sea.

The sea occupies three-ffths of the earth.
At the depth of about $500 feet waves are
net felt. The temperature Is the same,
varying only trifie from the ice of the
pole to the burning sun of the equator. A
mile down the water has pressure of over
ton to the square inch. If a box six feet
deep were filled with sea water and al
lowed to evaporate under the sun, there
would be two inches of salt left on the bot
| tom. Taking the average depth of the
ocean to be three miles, there would be
layer of pure salt go feet thick on the bed
of the Atlantic. The water is colder at
| the bottom than at the surface. In the
many bays on the coast Of Norway, the
water often freezes at the bottom before it
does above.
Waves are very deceptive. To look at
them in storm, one would think the
water travelled. The water stays in the
same place, but the motion goes on. Some
times in storms these waves are forty feet
high and travel fifty miles an hour, more
than twice as fast as the swiftest steamer.
The distance from valley to valley is
generally fifteen times the hight; hence
wave five feet high will extend over sew
enty-five feet of water. The force of the
sea dashing on Bell Rock is said to be
seventeen tons to the square yard. Evapo-
ration is a wonderful power in drawing the
water from the sea. Every year layer of
the entire sea fourteen feet deep is taken
up into the clouds. The winds bear their
burden into the land, and the water comes
down in rain upon the fields to flow back
at last through rivers. The depth of the
sea presents an interesting problem. If the
Atlantic were lowered 6,464 feet, the dis
lance from shore to shore would be half as
great, or 1900 miles If lowered a little
more than three miles, say 1860 feet.
there would be road of dry land from
Newfoundland to Ireland. This is the plain
on which the great Atlantic cables were
laid.
The Mediterranean is quite shallow. A
| driving up of $50 feet would leave three
different seas, and Africa would be Joined
with Italy. The British Channel is more
like pond, which accounts for its choppy
waves. 1t has been found difficult to get

DoDGING PROHIBITION. = The news
comes from Atlanta that the wine-rooms of
that city are now selling wine to be drunk
on the premises. They take the position
that they can sell bottle of wine, allow
the purchaser to take drink out of it,
have the bottle set back ON the shelf, and,
when he wants another, come in and call
for his bottle. This is the result of de-
cision just rendered by the State Supreme
Court, which declares that the statute
enacted last year prohibits only sales at
retail for consumption at the place of sale,
and that there is no retailing unless the
wine is sold in quantities less than quart.
This loophole was very small one, but
will probably prove sufficiently elastic for
" all practical ses."-Erchauge.

Ben BUTLER ON LOCAL OPTIoN.-Gen-
eral Benjamin Butler, in letter to the
Democracy of Massachusetts, says that he
has nothing to say either for or against
prohibition, but is strongly opposed to
what he calls ''the dodge of local option"
He argues that "if each town had a Chi
nese wall around it 100 feet high, over
which no one of its inhabitants ever passed
to interfere with the people in the adjoin-
ing town: then it might be well enough to
let that town settle the question of drink
ing spurious liquors for itself, as it alone
is interested" But since "we are all knit
together in one combination of interests
the youth from the city in which
prohibition is enforced will be enticed into
the Towns where liquor is sold, and there
brought to their ruin"
